With elections for all three wards as well as the Ashburton mayoralty, candidates delivered well-prepared speeches and then were quick to take the opportuni- ty to answer questions. Four candidates were not on stage – mayoral candidate Tony Todd who is overseas, western ward candidate Evan Chisnall and two eastern ward candidates, sitting councillors Lynette Lovett and Mark Malcolm. Environment Canterbury coun- cillor Sarah Walters was also at the meeting. For the remaining three may- oral candidates, Donna Favel, Neil Brown and Leen Braam, all of whom are members of the cur- rent council, it became a contest of past experience, personal skill sets, heartfelt beliefs and promis- es for the future.

By Jaime Pitt-MacKay [email protected] The Government has announced its second tranche of changes to firearms law, with an eye on en- suring responsible users have access to firearms and to stop the flow of guns into the black market, but some local firearms owners believe it is just adding to the unfair pressures being put on responsible firearms owners. The announcement, made by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Police Minister Stuart Nash on Friday, is the second tranche of changes following the March 15 terror attacks in Christchurch. The first saw a number of fire- arms become prohibited and started an amnesty and buy-back process to allow licensed owners to be reimbursed for their fire- arms, or to hand them into police, no questions asked. Local firearms owner Bob Mc- Donald said while the terror at- tacks were a tragedy, many gun owners felt they were being vil- ified and blamed for what had happened. “People are really disappointed in the way law-abiding firearms owners have been treated,” he said. The second tranche of laws propose changes to the firearms licensing system by reducing the the length of a licence from 10 years to five, adding more checks to get a licence and introducing a firearms’ register. “We had a register 30-odd years ago, but the police pulled the pin tions than answers. people, who were not part of fire- “The prices were okay, we prob- law-abiding citizens are able to on it because it was too difficult,” “It is vilifying the whole fire- arms community, were starting ably got ripped off on the optics obtain firearms licences and use he said. arms community and we are all to realise how unfair the changes and ammunition, but the guys firearms,” she said.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Today is Tuesday, September 17, the 260th day of 2019. There are 105 days left in the year.

Today’s highlight in history: On September 17, 1987, the city of Philadelphia, birthplace of the U.S. Constitution, threw a big party to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the historic document; in a speech at Independence Hall, President Ronald Reagan acclaimed the framing of the Constitution as a milestone “that would profoundly and forever alter not just these United States but the world.” On this date: In 1787, the Constitution of the United States was completed and signed by a majority of delegates attending the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. In 1862, more than 3600 men were killed in the Civil War Battle of Antietam in Maryland. In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland during World War Two, more than two weeks after Nazi Germany had launched its assault. In 1944, during World War Two, Allied paratroopers launched Operation Market Garden, landing behind German lines in the Netherlands. In 1941, Flogging and whipping were abolished in New Zealand.

10 Ashburton Guardian Tuesday, September 17, 2019 www.guardianonline.co.nz Plans to fine truckies opposed

NZME

Farmers and the road transport industry say they oppose trans- porters being brought into the National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) legislation. It is proposed that truck drivers will be severely penalised with fines if they transport animals that do not have NAIT tags, said Road Transport Forum (RTF) chief executive Nick Leggett. “Yet truck drivers have no con- trol over the NAIT tagging system, as getting those animals tagged is solely the responsibility of the farmers that raise them,” Leggett told the Primary Production Se- lect Committee at Parliament on Sunday. “We accept that animals must be traced to ensure their life- time movements can be moni- tored in the event of any disease outbreaks. But there have been long-standing problems with the NAIT system that cannot be fixed by punishing the people who drive trucks. Under the legislation chang- es there would be $400 fines for transporting untagged animals, Leggett said. “Clearly, no untagged livestock should ever be presented for transport if the NAIT system was working properly. “We strongly object to livestock “We urge the Government to nectivity that often fails or is non- been focused on improving us- members also disagreed with, An- transporters potentially being enable NAIT to be implemented existent in rural areas, Anderson ability, and we look forward to derson said. penalised for actions that are be- to achieve its purpose, support is said. this continued approach with a This raised a red flag as to why yond their control.” far more effective than additional “Implementation and educa- healthy add-on of education and the Crown would want ownership, Federated Farmers also ad- layers of complexity.” tion on NAIT are lacking, we know training on the ground, on farms, when current legislation allowed dressed the Primary Production Meanwhile, Anderson said a system that actually works would in the regions. access to NAIT information in a Select Committee, saying it did farmers recognised they had ulti- mitigate most of the non-compli- “We have had lots of discussion transparent manner, Anderson not support the transporter pro- mate responsibility of stock trace- ance issues that currently exist in around rural connectivity and said. posal. ability, and wanted NAIT to work, the NAIT system. know it is a major issue, it is con- Adding complexity to the exist- “We see no value in transporters but there were concerns over its “We do not believe that farm- tinually overlooked as an integral ing NAIT system, or increasing the having to become the policeman.” usability. ers deliberately set out to be part of this system working, we difficulty of the job that transport- Anderson said adding trans- Those concerns included a non-compliant and our members raised this concern with the select ers already had would only further porters to NAIT would complicate lack of education on NAIT, along have been very vocal of their con- committee.” undermine trust in the system, a system that was already “clunky with the expensive technology cerns with the system”.

www.guardianonline.co.nz Tuesday, September 17, 2019 Ashburton Guardian 15 From Dorie to Erewhon t Ashburton Museum, more and more images of interest are be- ing made accessible by the sometimes slow process of scanning Aimages from the massive photographic collection. We regularly feature a small selection of the over six million images in the collection on these pages. While our research articles are always very popular, the sections of photographs frequently bring people in to the museum, who are keen to help identify people and places that they recognise. The information shared adds valuable knowledge to the catalogue record of the collection. This week features images connected to subjects beginning with the letters D and E.

Above – Three patients outside the school dental clinic. Other images include the same patients sitting in the chair of the ‘murder house’. Left – Perhaps taken at a wedding anniversary, this image shows members of the Davidson family. Below left – Members of the Dorie Women’s Division of Federated Farmers, who attended their 1939 jubilee, if one looks closely at the tea wagon there is a 21st key. Below right – Entitled Eiffelton ball, this photo appears to be a debutante ball, one of a number of deb ball groups Tindall took. I don’t want to be judgemental, but some of these belles have a distinctly masculine look don’t you think? CGC stands for Country Girls’ Club, so maybe some of these young ladies were actu- ally Young Farmers. The bubbles on the photo are signs of deterioration due to poor storage before the negatives came into our collection.

Right – These cheer- ful people are the staff of Drummond and Etheridge, lo- cally known by the very alphabetical abbreviation of D and E. Left – Apart from weddings, the oth- er large groups that photographers work with are school groups. Here are the primers of Eif- felton in 1964. We also have images from East Ashbur- ton (also known as Hampstead). Right – This group wrapped up warmly is from a collection that appears to be a bus trip for snow fun at Erewhon in 1964. Sport

■■RUGBY Foster slams SBW rumours

NZME

Ian Foster has criticised “mischie- vous” rumours suggesting Sonny Bill Williams’ World Cup could have been over before it had started. Centre Williams was rumoured to be heading home from Japan due to a calf problem but New Zea- land assistant coach Foster insisted those claims were baseless. The All Blacks start the defence of their two consecutive World Cup titles by taking on South Africa in Yokohama on Saturday. And Foster has insisted Williams will be in the mix for selection for that crucial clash. “Is he going home? “No. “Is he available for selection based on his progression last week? Then I think the answer is yes,” said Foster. “He’s trained really well and got through it and I think we said last week we had a progression plan for a number of the guys who brought niggles into the week and overall came through pretty good. “In fact, everyone was training at nearly 100 per cent in the last train- ing session. “It’s just disappointing that a mischievous person has tweeted something with no information behind it.” Williams had battled off a host of injuries to make New Zealand’s World Cup squad in the first place. Knee surgery had threatened the 34-year-old’s World Cup place, and that after dealing with wrist, knee Learning new court skills and shoulder injuries in the previ- ous season.
